8 seed Austin Peay with a furious 4th quarter comeback (16-7) to send the game to OT. But fall shore 66-63 to Jxsonville.

First time in 9 years that someone other than FGCU wins the conference title.

Horizon - Green Bay

Super game with Youngstown. Green Bay trolled the game down the last 6 minutes. Very impressive. Both teams I thought played great defense

So this is the NCAA aggressively trying to put the Wnit out of business. Love the fact that San Diego will be dancing and they certainly deserve this bid. Each year the NCAA figures out another way to stick it to the Wnit

I hope the wnit is able to get the loser of the Mountain West championship game. And I hope that team they get is Colorado...lol

Based on their destruction by Gonzaga I bet Santa Clara ends up in the wnit.

And if Charlie Creme is right (and I hope he's not) I'll bet BYU will be in a position to win the wbit.
